THE PLACE
The facade offers the first clue.
On the Promenade des Anglais, Le Negresco pairs an Édouard-Jean Niermans facade, inaugurated in 1913, with an artistic identity shaped by Jeanne Augier. Paintings, objects and furniture become part of understanding the place.
The hotel describes a collection of over six thousand historic and artistic items. The address invites a closer look at shared spaces as well as the room.
